It was a local teamsters President. I doubt anyone will care. I would give you great odds on old on Larry not repeating his term as local XXX President.
Bush credibility questions outweigh any positive endorsements at this point. Bush needs to come clean about his cocaine use, military record and other not-so-youthful indescretions. We deserve to know who this man really is, and not just be spoon fed some glmaorized version.
What about the driver's liscence story? He had his DL number changed in an attempt to cover his arrest record. The media had been searching for the rumored DUI conviction for over a year. If Bush wouldn't have attempted to cover up his past it wouldn't have been such a bombshell.
So, how do we know they haven't hidden much worse things from us. How can we really trust a man who runs on a platform of integrity and honesty but clearly fails at achieving either of those two characteristics. Granted, few people ever do. Bush would not be judged by a higher standard if he himself did not choose to put his opponent under a moral microscope.
In terms of undecided voters impact this election I say that Bush has lost 1% of the vote for the DUI, another 1-2% for his attempt to blame the Gore campaign for the story breaking, another 2% for his poor handling of the situation and another 2% for tht distraction this caused to his campaign. Bush has gained 1-2% for people who believe this was a dirty Demolib trick, 2% for people who think that have had their own DUIs and relate to Dubya. That leaves Dubya at a net loss of 2-4%. With a race as close as this is, assuming it really is that close, Bush just lost the Presidency. If, however, Bush actually has a much larger lead, which he may, this will not impact him at all.
That last minute endorsement barely even registered on the scale. |
